I am SO excited to have big heads of Boston lettuce forming. I haven't grown this variety before and it is just beautiful! I may have a new favorite lettuce variety. My old favorite, Prizehead, is doing good too.
It seems that the slugs prefer Prizehead to Boston.

Boston is my very favorite lettuce - and I do not like sharing it with slugs.
Looks just beautiful (the lettuce, not the slug).
I ma so jealous of your Boston lettuce!! I planted some but it never formed heads, it just started to grow up and act like a leaf lettuce. Do you have any tips? For now my solution s to hit up the Copley farmer's market tomorrow.
Boston's my favorite lettuce too. We aren't growing any this year, but maybe next year.
Your lettuce looks so gorgeous!!! How long did it take for it to grow this big? My lettuce are growing so slow :(
that was what i wanted - Boston lettuce - and what I thought i was getting when I planted green leaf lettuce. :( :( oh well, next year.
I grew some mini-version of Boston lettuce for the first time this year, and have to say it's a VERY nice change from all the leaf lettuce... Yours are beautiful!
That looks so good. It's so hot here that everything is burning up and withering. Even watering doesn't help.
